Where is the next rest area on my route?
Plan the trip in RestMap to see rest areas and restroom stops along your route, with the detour for each. While you drive, Scout Ahead lists the next options with the extra driving time, on iPhone and CarPlay. Before you set off, the free route tool on this page shows highway rest areas and service plazas.
How far is the next rest area?
It depends on the road and your direction of travel, and rest areas can close for the season or for repairs. RestMap shows how far ahead each stop is on your planned route and the detour to reach it, so you can choose the next break before you need it. Check current hours in the place details.
How do I find rest areas along my route?
Use the free route tool on this page to see highway rest areas and service plazas. In the app, plan a trip to compare additional stop types, quality grades, and detours.
Does RestMap show official highway rest areas?
Yes. Rest areas come from open map data, and in 26 states RestMap also checks the transportation department’s own rest-area listing, which can add details such as closures, hours and family restrooms, credited to the department. Coverage varies by corridor, so check individual place details and current hours. See where RestMap’s data comes from.
Can I plan for children, accessibility needs, or pets?
Yes. Set your preferences in the app, then review the available details for each stop. See our guides for families, accessibility, and travel with pets.
Do I need a planned trip to find a restroom?
No. You can use the nearby map, Find Best, or Quick Find without planning a route.
